If the future is that we need to wait 5s every time a GNOME Gitlab page loads, maybe we should at least show something interesting - how about random tips or excerpts from the HIG?
"Never use the label 'OK' on a button"
"Margins should be multiples of 6px, e.g. 12, 18, 24"
"Button labels should use Title Case"
"Don't ask for confirmation when you could have undo instead"
and so on :)
@tbernard What is reason for the additional page, I noticed it when I was looking through some PRs recently, I know it's a bot deterrent but was there an event that triggered it?
@BrodieOnLinux I don’t think it was one particular well-defined event per se, but rather just obscene amounts of traffic from AI scrapers over time. @barthalion probably has a better answer.
@bragefuglseth @barthalion So basically there's been a noticeable trend up in AI scrapers so deal with it now before it creates an availability problem
